The only irritating bit is when you don't have USB-A (there is no A+C stick). But with NFC at least you can use your phone. I've yet to find a place (in my life anyway) where FIDO isn't accepted. Secures the main things like Google, Namecheap, etc.

That's one reason why I prefer USB-A security keys (it's just more ubiquitous at this point, and A-to-C adapters are readily available, while the reverse is out of USB spec). The other is that USB-A has all moving parts in the socket (vs. in the cable-side plug), which presumably makes a USB-A key more reliable. I've had USB-C keys break on me mechanically, so having an A-to-C adapter with moving parts on both sides seems like the best of both worlds (durable security key, durable device-side port, easily replaceable adapter).
